HAA 创始人 Gagan Biyani 与 Replit CEO Amjad Masad 对谈：学编程别上课，直接做项目

Biyani 表示学生不应只上 Python 课程，而应该用 Python 做自己真正想做的项目，AI 时代每个学生都能独立做到。Masad 认为项目式学习应该成为标准而非流行词，自己下棋的爱好最终演变成 Replit 的一条产品线。

HAA 的办学理念是取消成绩和考试，以信任为设计原则，鼓励学生把课外项目当作正事来做。

HAA CEO Gagan Biyani and and Replit CEO Amjad Masad on the simplest way to learn anything: build something you actually want with it. Gagan: "If you're going to learn coding at the academy, I don't want you just to take a class on Python. Go build something that you're super excited about in Python. Use it as a tool to learn the language." "The great thing about today, with AI, is every single student can go and do that on their own." "They don't need a customized syllabus or exercise given to them. They just need the freedom and confidence to say, 'Yes, you're allowed to do this. We're super excited about it.'" Amjad: "The buzzword for it is project-based learning. There shouldn't be a buzzword for it because that should be the standard." "The idea that you're learning something and you don't know the utility of it is a very modern invention, and it's a very weird thing to have done in society." "For someone like me, and I think for a lot of people that are more pragmatically minded, I'm not motivated at all by the pure pursuit of knowledge. I'm motivated by skills. What skills can it give me in order to achieve what I want to build and achieve my dreams?" @gaganbiyani @amasad
